There is 'Fever Pitch' (1997) starring Colin Firth as
a footie fanatic.
And how about 'Victory' aka 'Escape to Victory' (1981)

who play the game as a distraction.
That's all I can think if for now but if you go to the
URL below (www.imdb.com) it offers 283 films/TV shows
that have soccer as a keyword.
